Anthony Eadson expects a tight, low-scoring game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we’re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Both teams to score – No<\/strong><\/td>11\/10 (Betfair<\/a>)<\/td>Israel managed one shot on target in their 3-1 defeat in Linz and are without Saied Abu Farchi, who scored their only goal there before being sent off. Ireland had just one shot on target in their 1-0 loss in Kosovo and are without Evan Ferguson up front. With the game behind closed doors on neutral ground in Debrecen, at least one blank looks likely at 11\/10 with Betfair.<\/td><\/tr>
Draw<\/strong><\/td>5\/2 (bet365<\/a>)<\/td>Three of the five meetings between these sides have been drawn, including both 2005 World Cup qualifiers, 1-1 in Ramat Gan and 2-2 in Dublin. Both teams lost on matchday one and are desperate for a first point, and the market can barely split them, with Israel 9\/5 and Ireland 7\/5 at bet365. With no home advantage for Israel in Debrecen, bet365’s 5\/2 on the draw is well worth backing.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Israel go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Israel opened with a 3-1 defeat at Austria and, with home internationals staged away from Israel, play this fixture at a neutral venue in Debrecen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are without Saied Abu Farchi, who scored their only goal in Linz before being sent off for a second booking, and the game is being played behind closed doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Republic of Ireland go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Republic of Ireland lost 1-0 at Kosovo in a chance-shy opening display, and remain without the injured Evan Ferguson, Nathan Collins and Josh Cullen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heimir Hallgrimsson’s makeshift side will look to Troy Parrott for a spark as they chase a first point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
